receivable

Owed but uncollected

Receivable describes money owed but not yet collected.

In accounting, receivables (usually accounts receivable) are debts customers owe a company for goods or services already delivered: The company's receivables totaled three million dollars.

The opposite of payables.

Something receivable is capable of being received, though this general sense is rare outside legal and financial contexts.
